    “I would describe myself as during my military career as supporting the president and the Constitution,” Sanchez said. “After the military, I decided that socially, I’m a progressive, a fiscal conservative and a strong supporter, obviously, of national defense.”

    Sanchez, a Rio Grande City, Texas, native, said that he was shaped by his upbringing.

    “It’s my views and my history, having grown up in south Texas, depending on social programs and assistance, that America has a responsibility to its people,” he said.

America?  Where is she?  I want a little nose-to-nose 'splanation for why "it" has been neglecting "its people".

Another azzhole who has no idea what he's talking about because "progressive" is English mis-translated into stoopit.  See or read "Atlas Shrugged" and you know all you need to about what currently passes for logical thought; socialism is running amok.

Obvious pitch to the legal and illegal Spanish demo. It's about the only chance the libs have of winning a statewide race in TX.

BTW, Pandora...what's up with your post numbers?

I have no idea.  My profile shows 1337.

ETA:  Oooookay, now 1338.  Some glitchy thing that read 1337 as leet.  Computers are weird.

Getting this guy out of running more social epxeriements in the military is good, somebody trying to put him into office where he'll force his former offices to promote more of the same?  Over our dead bodies!

That was weird. I went and looked at your profile and it said "leet" too. Very strange.
